Forty percent of U.S. adults say they are buying or eating less produce as a nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak continues to spread, even as federal health officials have yet to identify a definitive source.

A CBS News-YouGov poll released Sunday found that 40% of respondents said they were purchasing or eating less produce, while just 4% reported buying more. A majority, 56%, said their eating and shopping habits had not changed.
